This article presents a brief overview of key topics for research and development in embedded systems with respect to specification techniques and modeling, embedded hardware, standard software, evaluation and validation, mapping of applications to execution platforms, optimizations and testing.
This article presents a brief overview of key topics for research and development in embedded systems. Following a hypothetical design flow, special characteristics of embedded/cyber-physical systems with respect to specification techniques and modeling, embedded hardware, standard software, evaluation and validation, mapping of applications to execution platforms, optimizations and testing are presented. Links to more detailed information are provided.
